Comment/question:

Perhaps the User:talk notice by BracketBot can be improved to report current unmatched brackets dynamically.

As DPL bot reports disambiguation links. Compare my talk page (version 2013-06-16 11:53) sections 55 and 56.

P64 (talk) 22:06, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

@P64: As in you want a new heading for each day? 930913(Congratulate) 16:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
No. The option "Check to confirm" checks the current version of the page and and therefore reports no problem if the page currently includes no links to dab pages. --P64 (talk) 17:28, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
@P64: It would be ideal I guess, but for lack of better wording to describe the problem, shoving what's wrong in the editor's face is the best way to put across the message. 930913(Congratulate) 02:51, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
I am not professionally a programmer in any language and I do not know any python. As I understand the term, DPL reports disambiguation links dynamically; the report differs according to when it is viewed. Bracketbot reports unmatched brackets statically; it provides a fixed report that may be obsolete when viewed.
It is good that Bracketbot's report covers unmatched brackets from the past, not only those added by the offending editor.
Pass this on to the Bracketbot maintainer if applicable. --P64 (talk) 17:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
@P64: The point is, we would need to bring the message that BracketBot gives up to scratch first. 930913(Congratulate) 00:03, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: HI, I just spotted that the bot notified a new user User talk:Zhang Tianshu about brackets, as it turns out there might be one unpaired bracket in there, but the page has a lot of maths on it so < and > are generally not brackets, but are greater than or less than symbols. I wondered if you might want to set a condition on the bracket bot not to search for triangle brackets on pages which have maths in their categories. Just a suggestion anyway. EdwardLane (talk) 09:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

It is being worked on. Bgwhite (talk) 06:17, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

BracketBot

Hi, I'd like to get your bot's code. Can you please release it under a FLOSS license?

It's even better if you have it on GitHub or similar.

I own a global bot, and could help adapting it to other wikis and language versions, since it's very useful.

Thanks in advance, --Ricordisamoa 11:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

I believe it is GPL. It is best to contact A930913 on IRC about the code. Last time I talked to him, he was at #wikimedia-labs Bgwhite (talk) 06:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll do. --Ricordisamoa 12:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
@Ricordisamoa: Missed you on IRC Take a look at /data/project/bracketbot/run.sh on the labs, and follow that for the code. Sticking around on IRC is probably the best way we can discuss adapting. 930913(Congratulate) 02:51, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
If it is running from Labs, it may be wiser to simply let it run on itwiki too (after being flagged, of course). --Ricordisamoa 23:38, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
@Ricordisamoa: I'm on IRC if you want to discuss this now. 930913(Congratulate) 00:03, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

A point theatre company page

User:A930913, User:Dru_of_Id, User:Legoktm, User:Bgwhite

Page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/%C3%80_Point_Theatre_Company

Hi, I see you deleted the page I recently tried to make for À Point Theatre Company. The purpose was not advertising, but I understand why it was taken down as it is a young company. Would it be possible to get rid of it completely if it will not appear on the database please? I think this would be better than how it comes up now as it looks very unprofessional.

Thanks very much, and sorry for not reading into your guidelines thoroughly enough before creating the page 77.57.214.195 (talk) 16:54, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

BracketBot didn't delete the article - it just notified you of mismatched brackets. You may want to contact the user who deleted the article: User:GiantSnowman. Good luck! GoingBatty (talk) 01:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

BracketBot: unintelligible message at User talk:Amakuru#June 2013

Just to let you know that the bot attempted to subst a template onto my talk page, User talk:Amakuru#June 2013 but it ended up just looking like unintelligible wiki markup when rendered. Presumably this was due to the bits of wiki and nowiki text which were included in the parameter list. Something you might want to have a look at, perhaps by escaping the text... Thanks!  — Amakuru (talk) 23:15, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: Your bot alerted me to 2 errors I'd made - thanks. For each of these I'd dropped an opening bracket, so I needed to change { to {{ twice.

FYI, the bot also alerted me to an error in the content just above my edit, when really it could/should have alerted the person who added/edited that content. I've fixed it, changing from: ref>name to: ref name

Just mentioning in case you want to improve the bot!
